    Man, I love the snow. Even the natives around here think i'm nuts. You'd never know I moved here from the Arizona desert.

    Tell me about it. Was deep in the San Juan's over in Ridgeway, soaking in Orvis Hot Springs this weekend. Woke up to about six to eight inches and still coming down thick. Made it over Dallas and Lizard Head but real slow and with 4WD. Few folks out in the storm. Most law enforcement busy with the ones that went off the road.

    I actually made the decision to wear jeans instead of a kilt for the drive..figured as bad as it was somewhere I'd wind up outdoors in the snow...got lucky, made it through and the cops were already at the wrecks we came upon.

    I live in Northern Arizona, where we do occasionally get snow. We've been talking about it lately, but so far, no white stuff. I'm kind of hoping we'll get some this winter, as it will be my last winter in the Great White North(ern Arizona).

    We could get a group together and all do the Birke kilted!

    Fraid so - I am even called Rumncoke on another forum.

    As I only drink good dark rum it is the only way to stop falling over, or sliding down walls and staircases etc. It is too heavy for my head, but I like the taste.

    We have not had any snow for about 15 years.

    We used to see heavy falls every few years, but it just stopped. I have a few photos of the snow Ruperts and dinosaurs I used to make - it is great fun compressing and carving snow, and impresses the offspring too. Any errors can simply be reattached and redone, so it is easy really.

    I do miss the snow.

    After seeing Ozone's pic of kilted skiing, I'm tempted! It's about time to get the skis out, have them tuned, and wait for the ski areas to open!

    Of course I'm partial to Wolf Creek Ski Area (www.wolfcreekski.com) in Southern Colorado - can't really argue with an avg NATURAL base of 120"+ and no lift lines!!

    HMMM... am I sensing a kilted ski day coming on?? How about my other kilted coloradoans?

    While it sounds great to me, these old knees won't put up with it any more. I'll just wait in the bar at the base with all the snow bunnies

    That'd be the better place for going kilted anyhow And I can relate to the knee problem.

    I like snow too, not many mountains for downhill around these parts though.

    I seem to remember a place not too far east of Des Moines and another up by Boone. Of course, I think the longest run was 75 yards
